"Valence" electrons or the free electrons

<u>Explanation:</u>

Electrical conductivity can be defined as the property of the substance to conduct electricity, heat etc through it. This conductivity is caused due to the migration of particles which are electrically charged within the atomic lattice of the substance.

The outermost electrons or the electrons in valence shell are the main cause behind the conductivity property exhibited by any substance. Higher the number of electrons in outer shell, higher the conductivity.

Since these electrons are in the outermost shell, they can move easily. Under an impact of applied heat, charge these electrons migrate through the atomic lattice and thus conducts electricity, heat as the case may be.

Gravity accelerates any object falling at 9.8 m/s2. What is the force that will be applied to the ground if an 88 kg box falls f
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The force is of the weight <u>862,4 Newtons.</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

We have the formula:

w = m * g

Data:

w = weight = ¿?

m = mass = 88 kg

g = gravity = 9,8 m/s

Replacing according formula:

w = 88 kg * 9,8 m/s

Resolving:

w = 862,4 N

1-¿Que tipo de energía usa en su hogar para el alumbrado , la calefacción y artículos de entretenían, entre otros ? 2-¿ de que m
Harman [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.-Energía eléctrica ( electricidad ) proveniente de una fuente AC ( es decir de corriente alterna)

2.-Hay un proveedor de servicios que lleva la energía a las comunidades en general y en particular la lleva hasta mi casa y escuela. Se define como acometida eléctrica, la infraestructura que lleva la energía desde la red de distribución al tablero principal en el abonado. La acometida puede ser aérea o subterránea, y normalmente consta de tres conductores ( de los cuales dos son calibre AWG # 8 ( dos fases ) y uno AWG # 10 ( neutro ). Esta configuración permite tener: 120 y 240 (V) en servicio en la casa y suficiente capacidad para la carga eléctrica de una casa normal

3.-Si, el tipo de corriente. En el caso de una linterna se usan "pilas" o baterías de corriente directa ( que no varia en el tiempo), en la casa la corriente es alterna de 60 ciclos por segundo de frecuencia.

4.-Si el voltaje es menor en una medida importante la ampolleta no alumbra por cuanto si por ejemplo el voltaje nominal ( o de funcionamiento es 120 V y el voltaje suministrado es 50 V ese voltaje será insuficiente para hacer funcionar el circuito). Si el voltaje es mayor dígamos 240 V la ampolleta se quema.

5.-El interruptor nos asegura la maniobra a nuestra voluntad del circuito del cual forma parte. Es decir si tengo un circuito de alumbrado ( 1 bombillo y un interruptor ) ese interruptor me permitirá apagar y encender la luz cuando yo quiera.

Los breaker son "interruptores" son dispositivos de protección para caso de sobrecargas y/o cortocircuitos
